The Rules have Changed: Competing in a 21th Century Economy Cities have choices. Those choices will determine the success of a community and their place in the world. But the rules have changed from a time when cities needed to just provide the basic municipal services well. The forces of globalization, climate change, infrastructure needs, demographics and technology are redefining the assumptions of how to build communities.
